James Campbell, professor and chair of political science, is quoted in an article in the Montreal Gazette that looks at the divisions by race, gender and social class of Democrats voting for Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton in the presidential primaries. "When policies are nearly identical, voters have to turn elsewhere, and they'll turn to things like character and the common backgrounds," he said.
